I attended the PHP Meetup on March 8 entitled "Open Data and The Open Photo Project", founded and run by Jaisen Mathai. It was very informative and also inspiring, since it is a project to empower users to take control of their own data.
One of the points that Jaisen made that really was important for me was that our photos now are being stored on-line at commercial sites that can later go out of business -- for example yahoo photos, geocities, and a few others.
Once these sites go down, unless you do something to retrieve the images, your photos would be gone forever.
